Debris

Five pilgrims were killed after a car they were travelling in was buried under the debris of a landslide at Tarsali under Chowki Phata in Uttarakhand's Rudraprayag district, police said on Saturday. According to officials, the victims, including one from Gujarat, were on their way to Kedarnath when the incident took place on Thursday evening. Furthermore, the IMD has issued rain and landslide alert in Uttarakhand.

Owing to the landslide triggered by cloudburst in Nainital's Ramgarh village in Uttarkhand, a few persons have reportedly been trapped under the debris on October 19. Police and government officials have arrived on the scene. However, the rescue team has saved a person and recovered five dead bodies so far. Besides, the district's lake has overflowed, flooding the streets and causing damage to infrastructure and homes.
